T+L Which is the most beautiful country you have visited?

Huma It’ll have to be Canada, and I covered both, Toronto and Vancouver. The country is beautiful, modern, and so vibrant. It’s also a great example of how a place can be well planned without killing all the natural resources. The quality of life people enjoy there is amazing. Canada has a great way of conserving nature, which I think we should definitely learn from. When I came back to India, my first thought was, ‘Why can’t Mumbai and Delhi have cleaner air?’

T+L What does your travel bucket list look like?

Huma There are so many [places]! I want to explore South America; trek to Machu Picchu; I haven’t been to Australia, so this year I’m travelling there; I want to go to Iceland—I have seen these amazing videos of the Northern Lights, so that’s definitely on the radar as well.

 

T+L Have you ever had an embarrassing travel experience?

Huma Once, I took my dad to an area in Vancouver that used to be a red-light district (Davie Street). [There was a time] when the entire area used to be a street for sex workers, but it has now become a beacon for the LGBT community. Even the zebra crossing is painted in rainbow colours. It was pretty late, and we wanted to grab a bite. Surprisingly, he [dad] was pretty cool about it.

T+L Your favourite company when travelling?

Huma I love travelling with a group of people who are fun and want to do their own thing. When I travel with my friends, each of us has different things to do during the day— museum hopping, shopping, etc., and then we reconnect back at night. I think those kinds of holidays are the best.

 

T+L Tips from a travel pro.

Huma Always carry a sunblock because you cannot have enough of it. Figure out a friend or someone you know in that city, and see it through his/her eyes. I inevitably end up reading travel blogs on flights— the kinds that tell you where to get the best tiramisu in Rome, for instance!

T+L What do you never travel without?

Huma Passport, credit cards, sunblock, and I have a pouch that has all the different adapters for different countries.

T+L What’s next in terms of travel plans?

Huma Australia, Monaco, Milan.

T+L Pick your favourite destinations for:

Huma Shopping: London, Family Holiday: New York, Beach Vacation: Maldives.
